Baby you know I'm scared that you can't handle this,
Even if we abolish some hurt in every kiss.
We didn't want depth but we hit an ocean,
Now I don't know if we can stand this emotion.              
 

I always predicted that she was going to break,
But I didn't realise it was a load for you to take.
You were never meant to be caught in this mess,
And I can't name a time when the weight will be less.

I feel I'm protected when I'm encircled in your arms,
But still I can't ignore all the screaming alarms.
Right now I'm not quite sure if I'm going to relapse,
Not entirely sure if I'm on the edge of collapse.

For now I'll just keep moving with my eyes straight ahead,
Hoping that somehow I'll break these chains of lead.
Watching rose petals until the last one drops,
A silken collage of red until the final heartbeat stops.
